Coming from playing point & click adventures made by Lucas, Broken Sword was a dissapointment. The story is linear and the pacing is slow. Puzzles seems to be contained within the scene they are spawned increasing the feeling of linearity. I bought the game after readig the extremely positive reviews here, which set my expectations high and contributed to my overall dissapointment.
Oxenfree is a refreshing approach to point and click adventure games. The story and voice acting is great, if you can enjoy teen-related drama. Unfortunately gameplay and puzzles are subpar when compared to the rest of the game components. Neverthelss, the atmosphere and story carries the game all the way. Great game to chill during a cold evening.
